Lead vs. follow

This is my answer to Naomi's question to 'why Lysistrata?'....only with more stuff added to it :) lol

some people are natural born leaders, regardless of race, gender, class, culture, background...w/e. Lysistrata just seems like the type to lead, while the other women follow. this could be the reason that the uprising hadn't happened until then...some of the women may have been content in following their husbands instead of walking next to them...sure, it may have been a convenient excuse - to end the war....but we all know it was a long time coming. Its as simple as this..... without man, there would be no woman. without woman there would be no man. so neither sex is better (even tho girls RULE lol), but in fact are equally important.

I'm glad that Lysistrata was able to rise up and be a leader, but i wonder how she was able to be a leader out of a crowd of woman, or how did this idea come about. I do think that Lysistrata was a leader amongst both sexes however her leadership is extraordinary because she is a woman.
